Egged On

In Egged On, Charley creates a remarkable machine that transforms fragile eggs into durable, unbreakable ones for easier transport. The film showcases a Rube Goldberg-style contraption built from parts pilfered from his neighbors, highlighting the creativity and whimsy typical of the 1920s animation scene.

The plot thickens as rival egg companies covet Charley's invention, leading to attempts at sabotage. The blend of comedy and inventive science fiction makes this short film a unique example of early animated storytelling. Collectors of silent films or early animation will appreciate the cleverness and artistry displayed in this work, which reflects the playful ingenuity of its time.
